I am Bogart Handsome Devil, Airedale Terrier and dog-about-town. I'm growing up in front of the entire world here on my blog... sharing my world with crazy cats and my mama Lulu. The King of Terriers is in da house!

Bogart spent his life in the public eye via this blog. His little
fuzzy mug insisted that we start this way back when he first arrived 11
years ago. The idea of a dog with a blog was new territory back then,
and a dog's blog from his own perspective? Nobody else was doing it.
So with a crappy camera, a rudimentary knowledge of blogging software,
and a dream, this blog was born. We've captured almost every major (and
minor) bit of Bogart's life for eleven years - and made friends around
the world because of it.

Now that he's gone, it is an amazing
resource for me to look back on, and smile. That boy had THE LIFE. And
when it was time to put together a tribute video to celebrate his life,
well, it was invaluable. I have many thousands of photos and videos
haphazardly saved amongst various hard drives, old computers, and flash
drives, but the blog was a great source of photos from puppyhood all the
way through his golden years.

And so this blog ends after 11 years of AIREdventures. It's been a helluva ride.

I hope you will enjoy seeing this, cry a little, and smile at the badass adventures of Notorious BHD.

Love,

Lulu

Dearest friends of the greatest Airedale
ever… it is with a very heavy heart that I tell you that Bogart passed
away last night. Sadly he had a large tumor on his liver that had spread
to his lungs. He was a true Airedale all the way, never gave up, never
stopped being his inimitable self, kicking ass and taking names (and
carrying sticks). We had a long goodbye with lots of love, funny
stories, and belly scratches and then I let him go. I am completely
heartbroken and totally devastated. I will miss that boy forever, we
were the bestest friends and he was my true partner in crime.

Thank you for all of your love and support over the last 11+ years, it’s been an incredible jAIRErney.
